lyrics

We all wanna smash something into matchsticks sometime
Stomp a giant footprint into the grand design

You're the only monster with your own star on the Walk of Fame
And all around the world, the people, they all tremble at your name

Then they send the tanks in, when will they ever learn?
You stalk right past them into the ocean, as you leave, Tokyo burns

You're the only monster with your own star on the Walk of Fame
And all around the world, the people, they all tremble at your name

You're a morally ambiguous force of nature
A nuclear evolved, prehistoric, reptillian creature
And when you rise, we will crown you King of the Monsters
And when you rise, when you rise, when you rise up,
We will crown you King of the Monsters
